Now that filming has officially concluded, Masters of the Universe star Nicholas Galitzine is offering fans a peek behind the curtain.
In a new behind-the-scenes reveal, the actor showed off Prince Adam’s signature pink tunic, an unmistakable nod to the original cartoon, and gave a look at the intense physical training he underwent to transform into Eternia’s legendary hero.
Recently, Galitzine also shared a shadowy look at his full He-Man costume, complete with the iconic Power Sword.
Starring opposite Nicholas Galitzine is Oscar-winner Jared Leto (Morbius, Tron: Ares), who steps into the role of the sinister Skeletor with his trademark intensity, bringing a fresh sense of menace to the iconic villain.
The official synopsis for the upcoming Masters of the Universe film teases a bold reimagining of He-Man’s origin story. Rather than beginning in the fantastical world of Eternia, the narrative opens with a dramatic twist: a ten-year-old Prince Adam is accidentally thrust to Earth after being separated from his home during an intergalactic upheaval.
Amid the chaos of his arrival, young Adam loses the Power Sword, the mystical weapon that not only links him to his lineage but also unlocks his destiny as a hero.
Nearly two decades later, Adam is living an ordinary life on Earth, completely unaware of the immense power and responsibility that once belonged to him. But when he stumbles across the long-lost Power Sword, the dormant energy within it is awakened, triggering a chain of events that sends him hurtling back to Eternia.
Once home, Adam finds a kingdom on the brink of ruin. He is immediately caught in a brewing conflict as the dark sorcerer Skeletor rises to seize control of the realm. To defeat this powerful enemy and protect his people, Adam must uncover the truth about his heritage and embrace his destiny, transforming into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.
The story promises a grounded, emotional arc rooted in Adam’s Earthly upbringing, before shifting into the larger-than-life fantasy world of Eternia filled with magic, war, and legacy-defining choices.
The film also boasts an impressive supporting cast: Camila Mendes as the fearless warrior Teela, Alison Brie as the cunning Professor Evelyn Powers (a reimagined Evil-Lyn), Idris Elba as the battle-hardened Duncan / Man-At-Arms, and Morena Baccarin as the wise Sorceress of Castle Grayskull. Royal duties fall to James Purefoy as King Randor and Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena Glenn, rounding out an ensemble fit for the throne of Eternia.
